Despite August Burns Red's newest album Rescue and Restore coming out about this time last year, the band's drummer Matt Greiner said in an interview with Loudwire that the band plans to start mapping out a new record soon and possibly begin recording this winter.
“…We are going to be writing and recording this year. People forget you if you don’t put out music often, as far as I can see. It’s very important to support the record you just wrote and recorded by touring and then as soon as you can find the right time window to start a new one, do it. A record only lasts a year, a year and a half, maybe two years until you say, 'Okay maybe now we need new content' and then that’s going to take six months. It’s all about trying to stay ahead of that curve, looking ahead and seeing when you want that new release and then pulling back six months and saying, 'Here’s where we need to start.'
We’ll be heading home this fall and writing and recording over the winter.”
The one thing that sucks about this statement is that it means we'll have to wait an entire year from now, if not a little bit longer, for the new one! At least given the band's track record we can safely assume it'll be awesome.
